Scania is like a Ford Mustang with a 5th wheel, overhyped pos with a big engine and a ton of fanboys around it
rustic bolt
I wouldnt say that.. kids love the 730 etc V8s in the end real work is done on the 450s etc. driveability wise, Scania is good, its firm enough to be comfortable to drive, has good driver comfort.. Volvo is really flimsy and feels like a normal car, the steering is very numb and light making it uncomfortably light and requires you to constantly correct it. Mercedes still doesnt have wheel that is very adjustable compared to Volvo or Scania, Man: same as mercedes, driver comfortabilities is missing. Iveco is not a truck nor does it survive work so nobody uses them... Daf i never driven

And for the record, the 5.0 is 4.951L but that makes for a rather large namebadge, so 5.0. 49cc off a pure 5.0 but whose counting.
I only respond because I own a very highly modified Mustang. It's a 2006 with a 2017 coyote 5.0 transplant, well the block anyways. The heads, intake, exaust manifolds, plynum and more aren't stock but iher heart is a 4.951L V8 monster.

Yes @rustic bolt , if you don't love the machine you can never get the most out of it. I think you have to really appreciate the machine to push them to the absolute limit.
I have funny taste in EU autos as well I guess. I think the Ferrari Dino is one of the most overlooked wonderful cars ever. Such wonderful lines and so much you could do to the suspension, engine, everything. It's a beautiful car.
Also a big fan of the Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite, wonderful little car.
Not such a fan of the Mk2 version, but the Mk1 has such great spirit. I would love to own one.
I saw a FSM Syrena R-20 once, a little pickup truck. It was also an amazing looking little auto.

What type of license do u need to drive those trucks across the European Union ๐ช๐บ
crimson turtle
I think it's a class C
Class B is the normal drivers licence
and I think the 7.5 tonne licence is a class CE
In France anyway
quaint tulip
Class C if you want to drive that truck without trailer
CE if you want to haul a trailer
Class C and CE are 7.5+ tons iirc
crimson turtle
Oh ok, I had it backwards, my bad
and the class D is a bus licence if I remember correctly
crimson turtle
Class A here is a motorbike licence
ebon harness
Drivers get class c license driving under 26,000 pounds
crimson turtle
@quaint tulip Unless it's different in France? I'll have to look it up
afaik the CE licence here is anything over 750kg towed weight
wrong again. C licence is a truck over 3.5 tonnes, CE is anything over that weight with a trailer
quaint tulip
(3.5t - 7.5t are C1 / C1E, but if you got C / CE, you autmaticly got C1 / C1E)
according to eu laws driving licenses are everywhere in the eu the same
crimson turtle
Yeah I guessed so. I don't know too much about the licence systems
my girlfriends a good few years older than me, so passed her licence back when you got your motorbike, C1 and trailer licences at once.
quaint tulip
but there are many holes in those laws
crimson turtle
as in?
quaint tulip
eg you are not allowed to drive with your c/ce/c1/c1e commercially below the age of 21, but almost everywhere you can get exemptions if you are <21, especially if you are working as a trainee
law doesn't intend exemptions, but doesn't forbid them either
crimson turtle
fair enough.
rustic bolt
In EU you need CDL-like training for commercial transporting, CE is full truck trailer combination, C is truck,C1 is lighter truck,
Or well, whatever training it is that you are "professional"
queen brook
Actually you can drive a CE combination under 21
As long as you have professional competence

it's marmite really, you either love it or hate it, but I know from experience my dad's company beat the hell out of these trucks (work, not bad drivers), and they seem to stand up to the test of time.
queen brook
But these are older versions
of Volvo
i suppose
the new FH can'r really take a beating
crimson turtle
the FHs in the fleet don't do as much though, they're just highway cruisers. the FMXs are the real workers
and they only carry the 2 meter machines, which are only used on motorways. so those trucks never leave the highway.
the FHs I mean

Volvo F12

are the only ones
that are my favourite volvos

Just take forkilt and push the trailer a little

usually there is no forklift available
what i could do is press the brake release button on the trailer and pull it to the dock with a ratchet strap
but too much work

rustic bolt
no side doors

You living in 70's?
rustic bolt
It seems my Scania has recieved update to the Ecoroll. Now it knows what to do with long downhills to not go down 100kph.. Shifts in neutral bit before top of the hill to kill speed that will be picked back up during downhill, also rolls in gear if speed must be held under control... Beautiful
fleet valve
wouldnt shifing into neutral use more fuel than just throwing it into the highest gear?
rustic bolt
No
Having it in gear causes resistance and slows down
In neutral it consumes 1l/hr
And the truck does compare weights etc that is the rolling in neutral more economical
fleet valve
yeah i guess just let the automagic crap figure itself out
rustic bolt
Yup
Especially since it knows the road im driving out of memory
All roads you drive, the truck saves the heightmap and gps positioning
Eg. It might suddenly shift from 12 to 10, 15 metres before climb starts, because it learned that 11th gear is too long for the climb
queen brook
put it in neutral and retarder on
take a cup of coffee
just so it dont go like fking 100kmh
rustic bolt
No retarder sadface
Also in manual box rolling in neutral destroys the box in long run

Yup
Gotta fo it before it starts

Scania is best truck. Truckers drive them and take advantage of their brilliant power they can bring. Scania drivers do show their trucks off and customise them but they don't do it all for show. It's to make it better for them and they can drive. Jeeze comparing BMW Drivers to Scania Drivers is pathetic. Scania drivers drive their trucks properly not race around and recklessly drive. Pff

Which Volvo do you drive, Zonates?
fleet jungle
SgtBreadStick lol touched a nerve there i see lol you can customise any truck and make them better for yourself but nope majrity of them cant drive them properly ive been on the road long enough to see that is true, also ive driven many scania ranging from 113m trucks upto the r500 highline and i am really not imperessed to be fair the older scanias pre r series had a lot of drivers suing scania for scania back due to the seats being ofset to the pedals causing you be slightly twisted giving you a bad back its only the r series that recifiesd that, also the cab layout on the topline with the bunk above the steering wheel was a crap design loosing lots of space and also quite a mission just to get in the bunk again this changed ion the r series since the r though things have improved a lot but there nothing special over other trucks in my opinion they still do the same job and when your driving standard general haulage trucks at 500bhp they have no gains over other 500 turcks except maybe renault.
however dont get me wrong they are really nice to look at, the merc im driving isnt brilliant either it has lots of space, a flat floor a huge cab to live in but its not the best either, mine is 510bhp and i can honestly say going up hill fully freighted at 44t is like driving a donkey and it dies quickly, the auto box is very hesitant esp at roundabouts where it cant make up its mind if it wants to go forward or not, leaving a pause before it decides thus loosing your chance to get out of junctions and it uses fuel like know ones business also it likes drinking adblu aswell meaning it costs a fortune to keep the tanks full. granted mines only got a 400 ltr tank.

Automatics never been a strong point of Mercedes trucks
nimble fulcrum
I always thought truckers are manual clearly not
rustic bolt
Not anymore
automatics have gone so advanced thats its actually more ecological to use automatic than manual
nimble fulcrum
Dare say as technology advances though so does the trucks
rustic bolt
my Scania 450 goes under 30l/100km even at full load (64 tons) thanks to the smart rolling etc what the transmission does
if it were a stick, i'd sit in gear all the time and it would be slowing down when trying to roll
i'd have to be on the throttle whole time to hold the speed and couldnt take downhills and slopes for my advantage because it would engine brake enough to slow down
nimble fulcrum
Sorry for sounding like a novice, the most experience I've got with trucks is on ETS2 and ATS
rustic bolt
the scania i drive for example keeps building a map of the world, always when driving new routes, it saves the topography (heightmap) of the road so it knows next time where is hills and downhills etc, first time if it never driven that route, it might not pick gears etc smartly because it assumes the road is flat, next time i come, it chooses perfect gear before even the climb begins and pulls up without shifting mid climb
then it knows that its going to be downhill on the otherside, it gets off the throttle and shifts into neutral slightly before the top dead center of the hill before downhill. this way it lets the speed die at the top of the hill, and then rolls down in neutral to pick up the speed back, and if its really long hill or steep, it rolls down in gear instead to engine brake and hold the speed from picking too much speed
nimble fulcrum
dare say it helps with fuel economy as well
rustic bolt
yes
when you roll for like what.. 50-100km of a 800km trip, you consumed only like 1.5 litres or something, it idles at 1.0l/100km when in neutral and rolling, as opposed to something like 32l/100km on gear and "holding" the speed
fleet jungle
the merc is the same with learning routes, it has built in gps in the multimedia system and lerns the routes, it isnt very good as far as low bridges though as not all of them are programmed into the computer so you still have to be wary at all times, it also doesnt take into account length and weight, some pf the places i go are little countrys towns and farms in the middle of nowehere which are very tight and weight limited so i tend to run my own sat nav against the merc sat nav, ref the fuel while on cruise on a flat surface it will crusie all day in nuetural until a load is detected then it will go in gear have a brain fart decide what it thinks it needs boom down to 30mph then it will pick up again and off it goes. i do miss the manual split shifts sometimes but yeah fuel economy on my merc is averageing aaround 8-9 uk mpg pulling 44t around scotland which is the max im plated for but my main issue is the power for 510bhp it really doesnt feel it when things like volvo and yes scania pull like trains compared to the merc.
queen brook
Mercedes makes good cars
But not trucks to be honest
Ive droven a 2004 actors in school
Didnt like to gearsystemthing
And then theres Sisu which pulls even more than scania ;)
fleet jungle
when you get used to manual gear shifting its easy, the first truck i drove was a crash box which was 2 gear sticks 4 gears on each and a high low ratio that was an art form requiring double clutching to change gear then the weirdest i have driven was on a seddon atkinson which was a form of erf which had a complicated 3 shift color and a split range on the side for hi med and low range total around 30 odd gear combinatons which was interesting to say the least but now autos have taken over and i havent seen a manual in a long time which is a shame as it was better for keeping the beasts moving
queen brook
I drive an eaton fuller
Its an pretty awkward box to get used to
I remember my first time when it was just grinding all over the place
fleet jungle
ah the old eaton fuller that was similar to the seddon gearbox i can feel your pain with that one lol
queen brook
I have driven it for 2 years now
Havent touched the clutch when changing for 1 year
I think
fleet jungle
well you must be one of the few still driving a manual buddy, lol ref not using the clutch get those revs right and those gears just slip in, get it wrong and it sounds like your trucks about to fall apart lol
queen brook
This is basically it
Ye it was really pain in the ass to get used to
But when you get the feel of the gearbox you just throw the gears in
fleet jungle
ah ok ive never driven one and to be honest never seen one buddy whats it like
uneven panther
It's look like a Renault your Sisu ๐ค

It's a motor made by Sisu?

what country of origin is sisu buddy

1140bhp huh thats a monster is the stgo3 wagon surely its not on a bin truck lol

ah eh11 420 not 1140bhp lol

Yes thats not the 1140hp
But thats E11
You can hear the use of gad

When changing down gears
Thats eaton fullee
fleet jungle
ah ok sounds a beasty, you cant really hear my merc with the windows closed you feel it though open the windows and its banging clanging farting all over the place lol
queen brook
The 1140bhp engine is basically supported by electronics
It normally gives out 700hp i think it was
But when you push the power mode on it generates the missing 440hp for 1-2 minutes if i remember
It can be adjusted
fleet jungle
that must be the most powerfull engine in a truck to date then buddy i didnt think we had anything over 800bhp in commercial use
heres that nasty ford thing i was on about
queen brook
Sisu is not used in commercial driving

oh how come

It's for earthmoving and logging or how you call it

yup sounds like a transit van aswell ive seen 2 both in white both polish i think they were from i spoke to one of the drivers he hates it
queen brook
Like you know how truck brands uses air suspension nowadays
fleet jungle
yup air suspension has been around a fair while now on the rear axles at least,
queen brook
Sisu still doesnt use that technology yet
fleet jungle
oh dear cart springs that must make a comfortable ride for you ouch!!!!!
fleet jungle
ooooooh that must be real comfy off road, good for traction in mud though crap for comfort levels
fleet jungle
i bet theres a lot of stell there to keep ya steady
queen brook
Ye
fleet jungle
oops steal
queen brook
Like we ppl who drive sisu usually joke around "If you get stuck just raise the axle and youre out"
fleet jungle
i can believe that aswell lol
queen brook
I have gotten stuck only once
fleet jungle
was that driver error lol
queen brook
Excavator operators are helpfull
fleet jungle
lol i bet, ive never done logging or excavation type work buddy ive steered clear of that
fleet jungle
like i said earlier im doing lots of farm work picking up crops like potatos etc so i do get some interesting muddy places lol
queen brook
Ye i have done that too
fleet jungle
thats not stuck buddy that is temporarily delayed lol
queen brook
This year its my time to drive the combine again
And about excavator work like you said you wouldnt do that, i myself have operated one since i was 14
So 6 years now
And it is fun
fleet jungle
i would love to have a go in plant what i meant was i havent drove logging trucks or working on excavation sites with trucks
fleet jungle
oh id love to have a go in a 360 or d9 dozer or a big ass volvo digger
fleet jungle
ive seen that video before and yup that is one special driver being able to do that i would probaly have brown stains on my seat lol
queen brook
Big ass volvo digger ye
I have 1 year experience on Volvo CL 250 d
With engon rotator
And its pretty good
So good to load trucks and tractors with
fleet jungle
very good buddy like i said id love to have a go in some plant machines but i doubt i wll get chance
fleet jungle
yup here you do, i would ave to go and get trained which can cost a fortune so i defo wont be doing that buddy
rustic bolt
Iron springs on lumber and gravel driving is good enough, airbags are fairly useless in there.. Also Sisu lifts the driveaxles(!) even on full load, something scania cries about if you have a washing machine in the back and it deems it immediately to "danger of overloading axles"
queen brook
Thats scania
lethal tendon
woah
rustic bolt
But sooooo much better than cheap china led bar that is on another truck
gloomy portal
lool
rustic bolt
literally same kind as what i have, but copies
But they point all over the place and doesnt light up as well
gloomy portal
I have only been in a truck once
It was about a decade ago tho
I forgot what truck it was but i think it was a Scania
rustic bolt
lol
I'm sorry you had to put with that thing @queen brook quite a punishment to drive one
queen brook
๐
rustic bolt
I drove one trip with a FH 500, it was quite a torture, going all over the place and never ending correcting to the steering and overcorrecting it all the time, it was horrible. Then i realized how lucky i am to get to drive a Scania, its a smaller cab, and bit less power but atleast it drives like it should
queen brook
I drove it from helsinki to kempele then 1 week before we found new guy
This is the only scania
i have driven
ever
queen brook
Well i can't comment on that because it's not mine or anyone who i know
it's OSAO 's
basically the school
i was in
rustic bolt
ah
queen brook
And well you can see me in there
smiling around
with my buddies when we were going to get more of that gravel
2 years old picture
lethal tendon
I saw a lot of trucks similar to that when I was in france.
rustic bolt
I dont see why you wouldnt smile especially if thats a school truck
queen brook
Well it's Mรถttรถsen old scania
lethal tendon
School truck?
queen brook
which had 1110bhp before it came there
lethal tendon
1110?
rustic bolt
Its V8, its a Scania, its proper truck and good looking
queen brook
yes
lethal tendon
Thats a bit much
queen brook
Well
rustic bolt
Opticruise?
queen brook
of course
rustic bolt
thought so
queen brook
didn't like it
rustic bolt
how old is that
rustic bolt
probably 5th or 6 series
queen brook
i can't recall
lethal tendon
It's definately a nice truck.
rustic bolt
yeah, the first opticruises are horrible
only recently the automatic has become actually great
queen brook
But i remember when we got down to the gravel pickup place
and when we started going up with full load
that V8 crackle was music to my ears
rustic bolt
Consider this: I drove my trailer license with a 3 axle twin turbo V8 mercedes that had some wierd ZF 8 pattern box and splitter, coupled to that a 2 axle flimsy semi trailer
rustic bolt
Pattern was something like this.. each gear had a splitter, to get in the high range (red) you had to nudge the stick in neutral to the right past a spring and then you were in high range
rustic bolt
I dont know, but the linkages were all lose so the gear positions are actually accurate
or bushings gone
if you ever driven an older Sisu with Fuller, You know what kind of a stick in a bucket it can be if the linkage bushings are gone
even 10cm of play in every direction while in gear etc.. what a joy to try to figure out is it in gear or in neutral
rustic bolt
was that the old style volvo?
queen brook
It was FH12
rustic bolt
2001?
queen brook
i think it was from 90's
queen brook
Yes it was 1995
rustic bolt
only driveable volvo since F series
queen brook
Oh f6 gives me so huge nostalgia bomb
rustic bolt
try F10 or F12
Ahh the cubical cabin and the endlessly clicking volvo engine with the รผber accurate fuel gauges lmao
at best the fuel gauge was swinging all over the place between empty and full when you had bit less than half tank left
queen brook
I remember when my teacher said something abut clutchless shifting
what i did in vocational school
he said it's not allowed but still did it in driving lessons
atleast no one saw it
rustic bolt
Ah yes its one of those, Dont do it in general, but let me show you
queen brook
๐ yeah my teacher showed me
when i asked how to do it
then i started doing it too
rustic bolt
Well to be fair, you were driving a C with a Sisu.. Its a skill you should be taught consider you are already commading a fuller, better learn to do it properly
but now i shall eat
queen brook
Ye everytime we had Sisu in our use in "training track"
i just claimed it
Still have picture before going to the driving test
gloomy portal
is that snow?
queen brook
yes but it's from 2 years ago
gloomy portal
oh lol
Too Bad UK doesn't get snow anymore, well only like a day of snow and it's gone then it snows at the complete wrong time of year...
I wonder if we'll get 2010 snow this year
rustic bolt
its not uncommon to snow in midsummer here
gloomy portal
wat
rustic bolt
i think few years ago right on midsummer it rained snow like substance
gloomy portal
lool
rustic bolt
that year chrismas was hotter than the midsummer also..
rustic bolt
weather has no rules
rustic bolt
Also the cold has slowly shifted from december to mid/late january for some reason over the years
at best december averige is +0c, january is -20c

queen brook
yes
I got a contract
to drive that thing
next week
But for once only
It's a 6 hour job but it will do
jaunty scaffold
That's cool
outer current
It's funny how people still complain about 40ton Gigaliner in Germany while you guys carry almost twice as much load lol
outer current
Whoa
rustic bolt
105 ton is currently heaviest i think for a log truck that is going between sawmills and factory
outer current
wow
fleet jungle
hey guys hows everyone today? damn 104 tons thats heavy ive only ever been close to that a couple of times but not with that that 3 bogey setup in the pic. i take it you get loaded in a lumber yard then off you go with it, or do you get loaded in the forests where there trees are fell? im asking cause those tyres dont look like an offroad type tread.
rustic bolt
Yeah its moving between storage and saw only
No sane person goes to forest with a semi trailer
rustic bolt
Idiots lol
fleet jungle
ah ok i was thinking damn thats some skill taking that off road with those tyres lol still thats impressive must admit ive never driven more than 1 trailer ever, the hardest thing ive hauled was a king trailer with steering front bogey now thats a ball ache to reverse.
fleet valve
what about logging trucks
crimson notch
you haven't lived until you see a pete hauling logs out of the forest.
rustic bolt
Meh
https://asiakas.kotisivukone.com/files/ammattilehti.kotisivukone.com/.album/1478587666390_1_large.jpg Heres a more normal log truck that actually collects from the forest piles
@fleet jungle what is that king tailer then?
fleet jungle
rustic bolt
semi trailers are just so solid and awful to go to with forest, they are not agile at all. clumsy and you are in trouble if you need to turn because you are in ditch most likely
I'm sorry.. 2 axles and only 1 at front
and its so short
that runs off to the side constantly
all full trailers that are shorter than 10m should be banned entirely, they are just downright dangerous, both to reverse and to go forward
the trailer cant be loaded heavy enough that it would grip well enough on ice so it the front axle will be snaking side to side on snow and ice all of the time
it becomes like a sled behind you once it starts it sideways movement, then you are either killing somebody who comes opposite side of the road or it pulls you to a ditch
fleet jungle
well damn i have never been tempted by logging and even less inclined now lol i take my hat off to you guys that do that job esp with thos those setup you guys have been posting i wouldnt know where to start ๐
fleet valve
yeah a cheaper truck is going to be eazier out there
queen brook
i mean like
look at this
polar timber
and yes it looks like merc new actros
but that is what we don't talk about
rustic bolt
I couldnt find pretty picture Jรถlli
fleet valve
might as well go tracked then
queen brook
Thats the casette for
rustic bolt
nah
rustic bolt
thats not fuel efficient
fleet valve
but tracked vehicles are fun tho
fleet valve
best drive is screwdrive tho
rustic bolt
no
thats the same picture i posted like week or 2 ago
that i happened to caught turning merging infront of me
queen brook
Well it is there
queen brook

it's useless
But dude

@rustic bolt
waxen wraith
i see what you meant there @queen brook ๐
rustic bolt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETYelgOHHf0 things you can do with full trailer..
an essential skill to learn when going to forest..
because most of the time the paths leading to piles dont go around
rustic bolt
how many lights and cables you broke
queen brook
i think it took me 30 minutes
didn't break nothing teacher was in the other seat
He had to press the brake 6 times
xD
rustic bolt
lol
queen brook
brake*
oh
i typed it right
i wanna know has Mikko Lumiaho spotted @rustic bolt yet
rustic bolt
Dont think so
queen brook
Doesn't seem like
but me twice
:p
I think i was applying for E.Huhtala
when i was seeking for a job
i may be wrong
rustic bolt
Clearly you werent good enough ๐
I feel really really sorry for the driver who needs to load that thing
rustic bolt
both of those trailers are 2 level, and to fit all, its all height limited cages
then you have the banana pallets that you need to get rid of because they wont fit in the basement because the oversized pallet doesnt fit between the wheelwells
queen brook
esa ruhkala has alot of timber equipment
almost 15 sisus if i remember correclty

rustic bolt

queen brook
thats alot
but look at all of those

looking for trucks
rustic bolt
Choise of career :P
queen brook
well he is an excavator operator
i know him personally
but still tho
10 hours
is too long
ohh damn
I think i found a picture of the truck im going to snow plow this winter
rustic bolt
Theres a damn nice truck frame sitting in certain timber delivery company's yard. I'd definately drive it
rustic bolt
How would timber work with a SM300, Cummins and Fuller sound like? 6x4 and lifts
queen brook
i hoped sisu or scania atleast
but i still have hope
but they did talk about volvo
rustic bolt
driving a volvo is a punishment
queen brook
You forgot daf and iveco
queen brook
Or a MAN would do also
Theyre pretty coll
Atleast what i saw in Kuljetusmessut 2017
rustic bolt

queen brook
Ye?
rustic bolt

queen brook
man as a plow truck
queen brook
Uhh
Found ze old picture of changing the bed
I can totally see i didnt reverse it straight but we gucci
rustic bolt
intresting method
queen brook
Well
We place a chain from one wheel loader to the other
Then remove the support feet
rustic bolt
What sort of system is that?
rustic bolt
dont think it was really meant to be removeable ๐
rustic bolt
well yes but not something you do alone
rustic bolt
like cables or swap body with hydraulic table frame lifting the bed in air, then flip the feet in and lock it in and go

I like how last winter i had bed heater on
Then when i wad tipping i was like "why is only water"

Keep ye eyes on the road ye gibben but I am curious as to what that that cup is on
high nacelle
Discording and driving is not a good mix
plucky river
Indeed
queen brook
@rustic bolt whatcha think
rustic bolt
The cup sits in the steering wheel spoke at perfect angle, and its not like i pay attention to the camera, just spam the quick camera button and hope for semi-clear picture
plucky river
its good better than my cheap american hats produced in china also i installed a sisu truck mod for ets2 am i on the right track?
queen brook
yes you are !
plucky river
Perfect
rustic bolt
Hmm.. Full potato load on 2 levels, that delicious 10 ton overload makes G450 work nice and hard
rustic bolt
soo... how do you handle situations where the load is in wrong order?
fleet valve
you get the truck idling in lo-lo, then you lay infront of it
rustic bolt
Right
